Play of the game

Sherman's second-quarter interception not only prevented the Jets from taking the lead, but it ended what turned out to be New York's only possession inside the Seattle 40.

Turning point

The Jets' Jeremy Kerley muffed a second-quarter punt, breathing life into a Seattle offense that had flat-lined after its TD drive on the opening possession. Kam Chancellor recovered, and Seattle drove 42 yards to take a lead it never lost.

Seahawk surprises

• QB Russell Wilson was sacked four times after being sacked just once in Seattle's previous two games.

• The Seahawks gained 52 yards on 19 rushes in the first half, an average of 2.7 yards. They rushed for 122 yards on 24 carries in the second half, a 5.1 average.
